Bitume
Zeichen
With their 6th long player BITUME are setting a sign for themselves and their gentle listeners in form of 13 songs that put in a nutshell what constituted the band throughout their 13 years. BITUME is on the cover and BITUME is inside the box. The sign is visually tangible and a physical experience - it is loud, it is unwieldy and it does not care about this or that style. Everything is allowed and everything is held together by the long-term love for PUNK - that breathes catchy melodies - that throws around refrains that do not want to leave the ears - that does not care about so many things, but cares about others. You can read the sign in form of lyrics that tell on the one hand stories like those of diaries from the 90ies and on the other do not forget the here and now. Flat is only the land in which they have been written. The look back needs thereby a bit of emotion, a healthy skosh of melancholy and a Northern-German perspective. For capturing this a certain aesthetic of the tone is necessary which binds the content in a perfect shell. Wait for the sign!
